Had to drill hers out too. And re tap the holes that the calliper bracket secured to as some idiot had got them I at an angle

[biggriffin]

They certainly look nice and shiny! 

The discs are extremely heavy compared the the Corsa items.

What are the 2 small  bolts in the plastic bag for?

There should be 2xm8x15 for the calipers aswell. (13mm spanner size)

Riveted shims. Painted discs. Look ok

They fit into the countersunk holes that secure the disc to the hub 

I don't think so, Mr Emd.

The bolts I have don't look like they will fit a countersunk hole.

This is what I have.

There doesn't appear to be the countersunk screws that hold the discs.

There won't be... bolts relate to the pad fitting kit. There are only two as you only need to remove one bolt to change the pads.

I recon you have the white gloves , so there's a start.

If I break the brake pad wear sensor, or, if it has already been snapped off by a previous mechanic/neanderthal.........do I need to replace it?

I'm really not bothered unless it is essential.

Cable tie it to the ABS wiring

No. Chop the white end off, bare back the two wire ends & twist them both together. Wrap up in insulation tape and then cable tie to the ABS wiring

i would hope he was equally scathing of tying it to the ABS sensor too  ............


I'd buy a new sensor (there's only one on Dr O's car anyway! - the tight bugger  )

I think Emd is referring to my comments on Webby's ABS sensor wiring repair, entombed with insulation tape
